The last person following Lu Bingjun into the community hall was a young man with ssy hair, who looked a bit sleep-deprived and seed a little unclear about the current situation.
However, after his gaze swept over everyone in the hall, he suddenly showed a very surprised expression: "Hey? Qin Cheng! Why are you here too?"
Following his gaze, the crowd noticed a thin young man wearing narrow-frad glasses who also appeared sowhat surprised. He had been sitting by the window chatting with another player but stood up to greet the newcor.
"Shengjie, long ti no see. It must have been about five or six years since we graduated from high school."
The other person nodded: "Yeah! In the blink of an eye, it's been five or six years."
Lu Bingjun was a bit surprised: "Oh? You two know each other? Perfect, why doesn't everyone do a self-introduction and get to know each other?"
Everyone sat down around the long table.
Lin Sizhi's gaze quickly scanned over, confirming that the number of people in the community had indeed beco 14, causing the number of chairs around the table to change as well.
The two young n who had greeted each other naturally sat together.
Lu Bingjun sat at the top of the long table, continuing to lead the conversation.
"This ti, our Community 2 has welcod five new mbers, both new and old players. On behalf of Community 2, I warmly welco everyone!
"So new players might not know anything about the New World, but don't worry, I will arrange for old mbers to guide and introduce you one-on-one, privately, later.
"The first thing now is to get to know each other since from today onwards, we will be comrades entrusting our lives to each other in the Walkway.
"Let introduce the old mbers of Community 2 first."
The situation now was different from when Lin Sizhi first entered Community 17.
Everyone in Community 17 was entering the New World for the first ti and didn't know each other, so they introduced themselves in order of their numbers.
But in Community 2, the nine players were all survivors from the first phase, who knew each other, and it's evident that Lu Bingjun holds a leader-like position in the community.
Thus, the introductions of the old mbers were all done by Lu Bingjun.
Lin Sizhi also roughly noted down the basic information about these players.
Number 2, Yao Yuan, male, 28 years old, company employee.
Number 3, Deng Xiao, male, 31 years old, fitness coach.
Number 4, Wen Wan, female, 27 years old, e-comrce.
Number 5, Lu Bingjun, male, 42 years old, company executive.
Number 6, Geng Yuxia, female, 59 years old, individual business owner.
Number 7, He Qinyun, female, 30 years old, product manager.
Number 8, Ye Lin, female, 34 years old, blogger.
Number 10, Zheng Chunhua, male, 44 years old, middle school teacher.
Number 11, Zhou Wanlin, female, 35 years old, administration manager.
These were the players who were already in this community during the first phase.
In addition, there were five new players who joined.
Number 1, Qin Cheng, male, 25 years old, dical student, new to the New World.
Number 9, Shen Bowen, female, 29 years old, chanical engineer.
Number 12, Lin Sizhi.
Number 13, Lu Qi, female, 23 years old, university student, new to the New World.
Number 14, Huang Shengjie, male, 25 years old, unemployed, new to the New World.
Among the five newcors, both Lin Sizhi and Shen Bowen had experienced the first phase of the ga but joined the current community as newcors due to their original communities being disbanded and reorganized.
anwhile, players Qin Cheng, Lu Qi, and Huang Shengjie were truly new players, at least judging by their behavior.
Huang Shengjie and Qin Cheng were high school classmates and knew each other in reality, but from their description, they went to different cities to study after high school graduation, losing contact.
eting again as new players now was hard to tell if it was a stroke of luck or misfortune.
After hearing the self-introductions of the five new players, Lu Bingjun looked at Qin Cheng with so interest.
"You're a dical student?"
Qin Cheng nodded.
Huang Shengjie chid in: "Qin Cheng was the top scholar in our high school! I always thought it was a waste of talent for him to study dicine. Soone like him should be building airplanes and rockets!"
Lu Bingjun nodded approvingly at Qin Cheng: "Doctors are a scarce profession here. Keep up the good work and perform well."
He then looked at Lin Sizhi and Shen Bowen—two players who had participated in the first phase but were clearly unfamiliar with the current community and its players.
"Do either of you have any questions? Feel free to speak freely."
Clearly, new players Qin Cheng, Lu Qi, and Huang Shengjie were new to the New World and although they had tons of questions, these were mostly informational and easy to answer.
They wouldn't impact the existing community ecosystem.
But for veteran players like Lin Sizhi and Shen Bowen, who had their own habits and understanding of community building and the Walkway gas, they were subjects needing special attention.
An 'experienced outsider' failing to integrate smoothly into the community would undoubtedly cause more harm than a new player.
Lin Sizhi thought for a mont and asked, "What type of ga was your first ga? What was its na?"
Lu Bingjun answered, "A full-participation Allocation Ga called 'Flower Brick Poker.'"
Lin Sizhi then looked at Shen Bowen, who claid to be a chanical engineer and indeed exuded a unique aura typical of female science and engineering professionals.
Shen Bowen said, "It was also a full-participation Allocation Ga, 'Puzzle Poker.'"
Lin Sizhi nodded and said, "The ga I participated in was 'Blood Poker.'"
Everyone quickly realized the implications behind this.
Shen Bowen mused, "This ans we are from at least three different 'regions.'"
During the first Allocation Ga, the Walkway ntioned 'full participation,' which at that ti included all players from Communities 1 to 20.
But evidently, there was more than one 'region' constituted by Communities 1 to 20.
Thus, the first Allocation Ga that each region participated in was different.
Lu Bingjun looked at the big screen: "Retrieve the rules for 'Flower Brick Poker.'"
However, the expected rule introduction didn't appear on the big screen; only a simple line of text did.
[No corresponding ga found.]
Lu Bingjun paused for a mont, then said, "Check all ga rules."
Normally, a specialized page similar to an encyclopedia should appear at this ti, with the ga nas on the left and the specific rules for each ga on the right.
This page should compile all gas that have appeared so far.
But currently, the page was empty, containing only one line of text.
[No relevant records found.]
Lu Bingjun paused for a mont, quickly realizing the reason.
"After entering the second phase, all ga records from the first phase were cleared?
"...Well, let it be forgotten, and we can start afresh."
